Shiva's Third Eye

Shiva has three eyes. His third eye is on his forehead. His third eye is used to burn up anything that gets in the way of his sight. His third eye is also to show his power. Also, having a third eye means that you can see anything in Hindi.

The eye is surrounded by three vertical lines. There are many ideas on what these three lines stand for. It might reoresent the three sources of light {fire, sun, and moon}. Another idea is that it is the ability for Shiva to see into the past, present, and future. The third idea is that it might represent the same as the trident which is the Hindu trinity.
